Question

If D is the midpoint of segment AB and AB = 15, what is AD?

Answer 1

AD = 7.5 units

Explanation:

It is given in the question, a segment AB having measure = 15 units

If D is the midpoint of the segment AB, then we have to find the measure of segment AD.

Since D is the midpoint of AB then length of segment AD =
`(1)/(2)* AB`

=
`(1)/(2)* 15`

= 7.5 units

Therefore, AD = 7.5 units will be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: AD = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: A midpoint is halfway between 2 points, which is AB. AB = 15. To find AD, which is half of the line, divide 15 by 2.

15/2 = 7.5

AD is 7.5
